Chris' Reef

Man, pissed off is an understatement. Hopefully he gives them to you lol.

 

Thanks man I really appreciate it and am glad you like it!! I plan to add a few more pieces but not likely a ton for a while, going to focus on growing things out and planning for the future of this tank.... and the next one! Of course I will snag collectors type pieces when I can tho

Yeah I know the other pics are only a few pages back so wasn't to hard to do, it was just late and I wanted to go stare at the tank for a while before heading to bed LOL. I have even noticed the growth especially the base down growth on many of the corals so I think they are on the right track atleast Eventually I will go with a more mixed look, just not in this tank (other then the pieces I am holding for a friend of course).

Yeah they haven't been happy for a while now, I've got him working on a couple things and removed the sponge from his return pump thats never been cleaned out so hopefully he will get things straightened out and on the right track Healthy they are all great looking pieces, but if he ends up not wanting them back I would just give them to him to sell or sell them for him as they don't really fit into the plan right now.

 

you gotta have a scolly, thats what the pros do.

 

In my future tank I will likely have a couple scolys/ acanthophyllias as they are nice little decorations for the sand bed. With my liking of the open/ minimalist type scapes I do agree they wouldn't hurt to have lol

 

forgive my ignorance, but is a scolly?

 

This:

 

thx! I obviously should have figured that out myself lol

 

Don't feel bad you are oldfishkeeper not oldcoralkeeper so I don't think many expected you to know it LOL

The one I am trying to get back in shape is what is considered a "war paint" scoly, it is supposed to be a deeper purpley color with red stripes (and occasionally a little green striping as well). There are other types (well colors) as well..... definitely a cool little LPS, when happy. Hopefully soon we will see what this one should look like, although it doesn't seem as happy as the acanthopyllia but I have high hopes for them all.

 

The corals I am looking after are starting to perk up fairly well considering how short of a time they have been in my care. The scoly is the only one that I don't notice any real improvement on..... but it doesn't appear any worse so I can't complain.

 

That's great! Your doing something right. Maybe he'll se how good their doing and tell you just to keep them. That'd be cool. Good job man!
